My boys love cycling but so far we have not been further than our local park, Hampstead Heath, where there are very few cycling routes. This meant that the kids were on their bicycles and we, the parents, were walking. Not that fun for anyone.

Last week-end, we put the bicycles in the car and drove for one hour to Hatfield forest, near Bishop’s Stortford in Hertfordshire (part of the National Trust). Me & the Girls joined us with her 2 girls and Blue Eyes. They rented some bicycles there as well as a baby seat (reservation recommended).

We cycled on and off the path for over 1 hour, until the kids had had enough and it was really good. They really enjoyed it and were ready for a hearty lunch at the outdoor cafe. Very good food indeed.
